Mate Stuart had a resident piper, he used to stand on the 4.5 mount fwd. Stuart did a trip up north with Vampire, Vampire's focs'l party used to try to knock him off his perch with heaving lines. I've never seen a piper do a jig while piping before that.[biggrin]Quote:

Life buoy sentry? That's an OD's job. Real men keep them burnin' & turnin', down below. [bigwhistle] Tell you a story about the sentry , on the Vampire. Sentry calls the bridge, " UFO , dead astern" OOW looks aft, it's the full moon, the movement of the ship made it look like it was following us. [biggrin] I spent 3 months on Hobart, back when I was single, silly and sozzled. Now I'm married . :lol2: We had just come back from a deployment, were going into intermediate docking [ boring ] when a message came across on Monday morning, they needed a 'tiffie in a hurry, [ like they sailed at 10 AM for Rimpac. ] A 'tiffie had broken his arm, so I got a trip to Hawaii, happy days. That means I served on all three DDG's. Vampire was still my favourite though.Quote:
